Thick as Thieves

An excellent thriller by the incredible Sandra Brown that is guaranteed to draw you in and never let go. The protagonist’s story is believable and keeps you fascinated until the very end. A rollercoaster of a read!

Sandra Brown is one of my favourite authors so I was really pleased to be given a copy of her new book as an ARC from Netgalley.

The story centres a woman whose father has been missing for the last twenty years under a suspicion of murder and robbery and her moving back to her hometown and trying to unravel the mysteries of the case soon start to ruffle some peoples feathers.

One of my favourite things about Sandra Browns books is the characters that she writes, even without a good story you would want to read just because of that. Luckily she also manages to spin a good mystery into the stories as well, with this book I wasn’t sure that there was going to be much mystery to it,it flashes back between the past and the present and I thought the story would be pretty obvious, I was pleasantly surprised that there were plenty of twists and turns through the book that meant not everything was as it seemed. Another excellent book from Sandra Brown, can’t wait until the next one comes out!

Many thanks to Net Galley, Hodder & Stoughton and the author for a chance to read and review this book. All opinions are expressed voluntarily.

A year back, there was this lovely feature in Goodreads that helped us to check the MOST READ AUTHORS as a list. No prizes guessing the top author in my list, none other than SANDRA BROWN. Ever since reading Prime Time, I have been an ardent fan of this prolific writer and from the time she had begun to write stories that provide a perfect mix of romance and intrigue in equal doses, I have never ever been disappointed.

Thick As Thieves is Sandra Brown at her best and for long time fans, be assured this one has all the unique characteristics that mark her novels. Edgy suspense, grumpy and irascible heroes, toe-curling chemistry and a mind-blowing twist at the end.

The hero Ledge Burnet is obviously, the surliest, the most obnoxious and the rudest handsome devil that one might come across but with a heart of gold that the reader is left gushing, oohing and aahing 🥰🥰🥰.The heroine, Arden Maxwell may seem timid in comparison but she is no push over by any means. The antagonist, Rusty Dyle is as creepy as it comes with his peculiar ways of exacting revenge and manipulating people and abusing the position of power. 

A whole host of other lovable characters like Don, Lisa, Crystal, each of them playing a definite part in this story, Sandra Brown has once again proved why she is the numero uno in the genre of romantic suspense. 

The story is centered in a small town in Texas where a crime of 20 years has been lying dormant, the undercurrents churning and simmering that a single event, that of the return of Arden causes the cauldron to boil over. What exactly happened one night in 2000 when 4 thieves stole half a million dollars and made a pact of life? The mystery that gets divulged in bits and pieces leaves the reader on tenterhooks until the action filled final chapter.

The revealing surprise at the end had me thunderstruck, this in spite of the fact that I had been waiting and expecting some twist as it is one of the trademark characteristics of a Sandra Brown novel.

Highly recommended for fans of fast paced sexy romantic suspense, read it one GO!

I really enjoyed this book. It kept me gripped from the very first page. I have seen it be likened to Lisa Gardner and I would totally agree. fantastic
